And you thought that fries are all the same. It isn't. I have tried fries which taste just heavenly and then we have our regular old McDonald's or those fast food fries. Miles apart I tell you. Fries should not be made from starch and they should not have added preservatives or whatever emulsifiers. Made from real potatoes is what fries should be. Yes, only freshly cut, irregularly shaped fries made from potatoes imported from Belgium should be considered Belgian Fries. And they should be thick. I don't know why but it seems that a lot of people like their fries thin, which just ensures that the fries will be cripsy but not fluffy inside. Thick fries will have cripsy skin and a fluffy interior - that is what good fries are. Anyway, if you want to know more about this amazing food, check out this site - it contains tons of information on Belgian Fries. Yes, some people are just too obessed. But hey, good for us eh? You should check out the owner's recipe to make your very own Belgian Fries.
